I used to go to a ghetto pub owned by Leon Spinks on Grand River Ave in the D.  Circa 1989.  He was there ance or twice.  
This means if I did drugs I woulda did them in the same bathroom stall as Leon Spinks. :lol:

He made a comeback at 60 to become one of the world's oldest boxers.

Any chance he's a Scavenger hunt pick?

Wasnt sure if to put this in the boxing thread, British royal thread or possibilities for 2021 thread.

 

Anyway the boxer Ronnie Russell who heroically helped rescue Princess Anne during her kidnapping in the 1970s has revealed he is in poorly health, although its nature unspecified, and is selling of his heroes medal as a result to help him survive.

Former world junior welterweight champion (WBA) and would-be 1980 US Olympian Johnny Bumphus has died of cardiac arrest aged 59.

 

He lost the title at his first defence to Gene Hatcher and in his only other title fight, the WBC welterweight title, he was stopped by Lloyd Honeyghan after 2 rounds. He never boxed again, retiring with a 29-2 record.
